This book is a collection of papers on electromagnetic wave mechanics and its applications written by experts in this field. It offers the reader a sampling of exciting research areas in this field. The topics include polarimetric imaging, radar spectroscopy, surface or creeping waves, bistatic radar scattering, the Seebeck affect. Mathematical methods include inverse scattering theory, singularity expansion method, mixed potential integral equation, method of moments, and diffraction theory. Applications include Cellular Mobile Radios (CMR), radar target identification, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). This book shows how electromagnetic wave theory is currently being utilized and investigated. It involves a modicom of mathematical physics and will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in electrical engineering, physics and applied mathematics.

This work is divided into three parts. The first part, Principles and Techniques, concerns general concepts and calculational procedures from electromagnetic theory relevant to EMP interaction. This contains a discussion of the concept of electromagnetic topology which is used to divide complex systems into somewhat natural smaller parts in an ordered way. This concept is fundamental to the organization and understanding of this work is expected to lead to further insights and computational techniques 2-8. The reader might consult a recent review paper 9 to put these in perspective including some concepts of potential future significance. The second part, Formulas and Data, considers the information concerning the pieces of the system. The organization of this part is based on the system topology, specifically the hierarchical topology which divides the system into layers. Each layer is further divided into three ordered parts: coupling, propagation, and penetration. Within each category the various individual (or canonical) types of boundary-value problems are considered. As one might expect, the bulk of the material is contained in this section. Having considered, first, the general concepts and techniques for EMP interaction and, second, the specific information concerning the pieces, we come to the third part, Systems Applications. This part attempts to illustrate the use of the previous parts in analyzing the EMP interaction with complex systems. Hypothetical system examples are chosen to illustrate the topological decomposition of the problem for selected signal paths, and the subsequent approximate calculation of the internal signals.

For the electromagnetic pulse produced by nuclear explosions, a substantial amount of work has been applied to the calculation of that part of the EMP due to the interaction of the bomb gamma rays with the natural environment, e.g., the atmosphere or the ground surface. In EMP vulnerability studies of systems, the effect of the environmental EMP on the system is taken into account. When the system itself is exposed to the gamma rays, it may make its own contribution to the EMP to which it is subjected. This direct interaction EMP depends very much on the system, of course. In the note the author discusses a few illustrative examples.

For senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students, this text discusses a unified approach to the role of hydrology in environmental planning and management. It emphasizes the consideration of the hydrologic continuum in determination of fate and migration of chemicals as well as microorganisms in the environment, both below and on the ground. Also discussed are the eco-hydrological consequences of environmental management. A current account of mathematical modeling of pollution in the hydrologic cycle is also presented.

This book addresses the problem of treating interior responses of complex electronic enclosures or systems, and presents a probabilistic approach. Relationships for determining the statistics of the driving fields to apply to a circuit analysis code representing part of an enclosed system's writing are worked out. Also addressed are limited spatial and frequency coherence essential to a statistically based field drive model. This text gives examples, different modeling, and describes how to make, interchange, and optimize models.
